Some words should never be read.

πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚:πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚:πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚:πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚

Words on autumn barkβ€”

Luminous letters in blood,

Letters of the slain.

πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚:πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚:πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚:πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚

Message on fall’s earthβ€”

Cryptic words where none should be

Keeper of my soul.

πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚:πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚:πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚:πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚ πŸ‚
